Asphalt is different from petroleum, which needs to be refined and processed before it can be used, but asphalt only needs to be heated and melted to pave roads, and even solids such as cinders can be saved in order to save trouble.

Of course, because the steel mill produces a lot of waste residue, it can just be used for paving, killing two birds with one stone.

So in Donn's eyes, asphalt has a higher practical value than oil.

Thousands of tonnes of asphalt have been dug up here, which is not a fraction of the size of the asphalt lake, but it is more than enough to pave the roads in Ellington's old and new towns into asphalt!

"It's a lot of trouble to store, and it cools and solidifies very quickly when it's dug up, so we're just going to have to pile it up here."

Durandon looked helpless, it was still a hot fluid when it was dug up, but it solidified as soon as it cooled down, and it was very difficult to deal with after soiling the ground, so he desperately wanted Don to get these things away as soon as possible.

"It doesn't matter, asphalt is of this nature."

Don raised his hands, and the space above his head suddenly distorted, followed by a huge hollow, and the invisible magic rolled the asphalt into the hollow, and the asphalt in the warehouse was quickly all transferred.

Durandon was dumbfounded: "My friend, can you tell me how much storage space your space equipment has?" ”

"How old?"

Don glanced at the asphalt in the inventory and tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's pretty big anyway......"

"Okay, okay, anyway, you're a mage, anyway, the magic equipment was researched by you, anyway, you're a local tyrant......"

A dejected Durandon thought to himself. As the king of the Dwarven Kingdom, the spatial rings in his hands that have been passed down from generation to generation are only a few dozen standard units of storage space, and even then. It's already pretty good.

"Don't be envious, let's tell you good news."

Don patted Durandon's shoulder and said with a smile: "Just now we made a good thing, which can increase the speed of personal mining many times, if you are interested, I can sell it to you after mass production." ”

"How many times higher?"

Durandon was extremely skeptical: "How is it possible, even if all the pickaxes are replaced with pure gold." The efficiency won't be improved that much! ”

Don smiled dumbly, just as the peasant who carried the water thought that the king used a golden pole, and the inertia of his thinking limited people's gaze. Because he has always used a pickaxe to mine, Durandon subconsciously thinks that improving the technology is to make a pickaxe with better metal, but he can't think of completely changing the way of mining.

"Of course not with a pickaxe, and besides, I don't have that much pure gold for you to splurge. A reminder. How do your rune dwarves mine? ”

"Rune dwarves, of course, use spells."

Durandon rolled his eyes, "The 'Fossil to Mud' spell is so convenient...... Wait, you mean, to get the average miner to master this spell!? ”

Durandon suddenly jumped to his feet, gasping and glaring at Donne, if Don can really do this, then the efficiency of mining can be improved many times!

That's going to be against the sky, right!?

"It's not mastery, but it's about the same."

Donn said, "That thing is called the Magic Drill, and it's powered by wind magic. At the same time, a weakened version of the fossil is attached to the drill bit as a mud spell, which can be used solo. After switching to the Magic Rig, the efficiency of mining ...... Hehe, you'll be scared. ”

"Sell it to me!"

Although he has not yet seen the real thing, Durandon has decisively put forward his intention to buy: "How many as you want!" ”

Can he not be excited?

If that magic drill is really as powerful as Donn said, it is a treasure that can change the entire mining industry!

You don't care about anything else, but to improve mining efficiency, they dwarves must take the lead!

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when it's mass-produced."

Tang En waved his hand: "Then I'll go back first, as for lunch, forget it, don't disturb the two-person world of the two of you." ”

After saying goodbye to Durandon, Donn went straight back to Ellington, just in time to see Aberon walking back.

"Master Alberton, will you stay for lunch?"

Don said hello: "Lunch in the Lord's Mansion should have been ready, calculate the time, Brian's bastard should have gone over to eat." ”

"I don't need to."

Alberon shook his head: "I can't get used to human food. ”

"My food here is different from other places."

Don smiled: "I have a strong taste. ”

Albert's face was horrified.

Donn had to explain: "I'm just talking about the taste of the food, please don't think about it. ”

"I'm not thinking, really."

"If you don't try my food here, you'll definitely regret it."

Don smiled, "My food here is very good. ”

"Oh?"

"Otherwise, why does Brian come over to eat every day lately?"

"That's right......"

"I remember that the menu at noon in the Lord's Mansion today was salt-and-pepper pork ribs, scrambled eggs with chili, and spicy meat wings...... Ah, I can't go on, my saliva is going to flow out, master, if you don't go, I'll go first. ”

"Go! Of course go! ”

Alberon was very interested in the dishes that Don had said, so he followed Don back to the Lord's Mansion.

"Hey, it's here."

Brian pouted, Aberon felt the breath when he first came, he thought that Don would definitely find a way to bring this guy to the Lord's Mansion for dinner, but he didn't expect to guess correctly.

"Go, go, wash your hands, what does it look like when it's dirty!"

Brian looked disgusted and disdainful of Albert: "Remember to wipe your hands with toilet paper after washing your hands, and then pat the mint hydrosol before coming out, don't embarrass us dwarves!" ”

Alberon: "......"

Fiona: "......"

"Brian ......"

Tang En sighed: "What qualifications do you have to teach Master Alberon a lesson......

Brian said proudly, "With my current taste of life - the things you made out of your big brother have made our lives a lot more comfortable...... What to see! ”

Brian yelled at Albert, "Haven't you ever seen me look so dashing!?" ”

“……”

Alberon sighed, "I feel the urge to strangle you......"

"Don't talk nonsense, haven't you seen those new things made by the big brother? Come. I'll take you to learn it. ”

Brian snorted coldly and jumped out of his chair and beckoned to Albert.

Alberon shrugged and followed.

Fiona asked in a whisper, "The two of them have always been like this?" ”

Tang En said casually: "It is estimated that it will be more exaggerated when it is not straight." ”

"Huh?"

"Oh. I mean, since Durandon slept with Tess, Brian has become more arrogant, and Alberon can't do anything about him. ”

Fiona took a sip: "What do you mean to sleep Tess, don't say it so ugly, people obviously love each other, you see you make Tina shy." ”

"It's easy to understand."

Don looked up. Tina's cheeks and ears were flushed, and she was too shy to speak, and she was looked at by Don. She became even more nervous, and as soon as the saucer in her hand slipped, she slapped Donn in the face.

The magic instantly enveloped the saucer, and the soup was put back in. fell on the table. Then Tang Encai said speechlessly: "Tina, even if you think what I said is too straightforward, there is no need to fool my face, right?" ”

“……”

Tina, whose face was flushed, saluted, didn't even say a word, turned her head and fled.

"What's wrong with her?"

Don looked puzzled.

"Are you embarrassed to say what's wrong with her?"

Fiona said angrily, "What did you do in the middle of the night last night, you don't know?" ”

Don En's face was full of innocence: "I didn't do anything!" I've been staying in the house and thinking about things. ”

"Pondering things?"

Fiona sneered, and threw the morning Datang Daily in front of Don with a "snap": "You dare to say that you didn't get it out?" ”

Don picked up the newspaper and read it.

"Is it true? Or is it a hypocrisy? Is it single-minded? Or is it promiscuity? ”

"The history of the Lord's emotional entanglements? Or is it a step-by-step history of the harem of the belly black lord? ”

"Today's headlines, the exclusive special reporter of this newspaper (anonymous here because the revelations are too sharp) news, has always been. The lord has maintained an affair with several ladies, the most well-known of them. I'm afraid it's our Ellington's big director, Miss Fiona, many people think that Lord Lord and Miss Fiona are in a relationship, but after our reporter secretly investigated, this does not seem to be the case. ”

"It turns out that our lord has a great relationship with Miss Fio, and even has an unclear entanglement with our Ellington's famous strange power girl Ai Osha, it is reported that more than 20 days ago, the lord went to the imperial capital Alinks, in order to accompany the lord, Miss Ai Osha actually followed him desperately, and according to the performance of his father A. Oton, it can be known that he is afraid to see it happen."

"However, it's not just Fiona and Ai Osha, according to the exclusive information of this newspaper, our lord and Miss Tio also have an ambiguous relationship that outsiders can't know, and the lord once pushed Miss Tio down in one fell swoop, but unfortunately it didn't succeed......"

"In addition, according to a certain reader friend who did not want to be named, it seems that the lord is very fond of ......"

After reading the newspaper, Donn's mood was broken: "Your sister! What's the difference between hitting this code and not hitting it!! ”

"Now you know you're scared?"

"No, I didn't do it......"

Don wanted to cry without tears: "Am I stupid? Make my own rumors!? ”

"Really? But who else knows these things but you? Who else will say it? Do you think I said it? ”

Fiona sneered: "If it weren't for this headline, Tina would be ashamed like this?" ”

"Good Fellow......"

Don gritted his teeth: "Carl, this kid is already self-taught, and he will make gossip news...... But he actually dared to make rumors about me, it seems that he has been bold, and he has a lot of fun, and I have to go to him to settle accounts after dinner. ”

"Save it, you still have to wait for you to settle accounts with him?"

Fiona said angrily: "Not long after the newspaper was sold in the morning, Carl was chased and killed by the angry Elsa, and he didn't know where to flee. ”

You really deserve it!

Don gloated.

"But...... It's really not you? ”

Fiona frowned slightly: "If it's not you, who will reveal this news?" Also saw the thing about you and Tina. ”

"How do I know...... Wait a minute! Tina and I are really innocent!! (To be continued.) )
